Adjusting The Print Head Gap - Intermec 6820 Series User Manual

Adjusting the Print Head Gap

6820 Series 80-Column Printer User's Manual
The head gap adjuster is near the printer mechanism on the side opposite
the green thumb wheel. The print head adjuster has five notches between
the print head and the platen for different paper thicknesses.
Verify the thickness of the paper loaded into the printer.
S If you are using single-sheet forms, set the head gap adjuster to the third
notch away from the paper.
S If you are using multiple-sheet forms (2-ply or 3-ply), set the head gap
adjuster to the fourth notch away from the paper.
S If you experience frequent head jams, set the head gap adjuster to the
fifth notch away from the paper. This may stop the head jams.
S If the 2-ply and 3-ply paper have light printing, setting the gap adjuster
to a closer setting will darken the print.
Note the print head adjuster is set on the third notch.
